Final Flashcards
All internal senses
Visceral senses
Tactile sensations (touch, pressure, vibration), thermal sensations, pain sensations and proprioception
Somatic senses
On surface of the body, sensing things externally
Exteroceptors
Senses to limbs and joints
Proprioceptors
Pressure, touch, motion, sound
Mechanoreceptors
Heat, cold, infrared radiation
Thermoreceptors
Respond specifically to pain
Nociceptors
Respond to light
Photoreceptors
Senses chemicals
Chemoreceptors
Stops overstimulation
Adaptation
Acute, well localized, rapid response (needle prick, something sharp)
Fast pain
Pressure, slow to respond
Slow pain
Pain on surface
Superficial somatic pain
Pain receptors buried in muscles, tendons and joints
Deep somatic pain
Pain receptors of internal organs not muscles
Visceral pain
Pain that is sensed on surface of body from internal organ
Referred pain
Sensations at the limb that was amputated as though it was still there
